GLUMS WARENEKI (COTTAGE CHEESE PEROGIES)



Glums Wareneki (Cottage Cheese Perogies) image

Provided by By MennoNeechie Kitchen

Time 1h38m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Dough: 2 cups Milk
4 eggs
2 tsp salt
7 cups Flour
Filling: Cottage Cheese
2 Egg Yolks
Salt & Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put milk, eggs (beaten), salt, and flour in a mixer, and mix on low speed until a dough is formed. Continue adding flour until dough is tough and no longer sticky. If your dough is getting too tough for your mixer, continue to knead by hand while adding more flour. Once you have a nice firm dough, cover and place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  • Add dry curd cottage cheese, heavy cream, egg, and salt and pepper to a bowl and mix with spoon/fork. Roll out a portion of the dough on a flat surface (about 1/8"-1/4" thick), and cut out circles (or squares if you prefer). Put about 1 teaspoon of cottage cheese in the middle of a circle, fold, and pinch together to seal the perogy. Place finished perogies on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Perogies can either be boiled right away, or frozen and bagged to be saved for a later day. Boil perogies for approximately 8 minutes, or until done. Serve and enjoy!

WARENEKI

German Mennonite-style perogies - the flour and cottage cheese measurements in this recipe aren't exact. You'll find in a lot of mennonite cooking there aren't exact measurements since it's done a lot by look and consistency.

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
2 -2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 lb dry curd cottage cheese
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine all of the dough ingredients together to make a soft dough. Roll out thinly onto a floured board and cut into circles (I like to use a mason jar lid). Blend the filling mixture well and put enough filling to cover half of the circle but leave edges to seal the wareneki. Fold the other half over into a half moon shape then press the edges together with fingers or lightly with a fork. Boil the wareneki for about ten minutes - they will float when cooked. Serve with gravy or butter or after they're boiled you can fry the wareneki with onions and bacon and serve with sour cream (I like mine with ketchup).
